In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.

Unless you’re a corporation. Special tax treatment for anyone should be illegal. Pay your fucking taxes.

Edit: angrier

Another really useful societal benefit of AI.

I’m guessing you live somewhere with wider roads and more private vehicle-centric urban planning. That is not the UK.

Sounds a bit too commie for the yanks.

The private homebuilding sector is not going to build at the rate required to improve supply, because excess supply will cut into their margins. Deregulating will just allow them to build a ton of cheap low quality housing and still charge enormous amounts for it. Landlords would just pass that on.

The solution is quality social housing, built by the state in large enough quantities to disrupt the market.

I’m still using my Turris Omnia. It’s not strictly OpenWRT (it’s a derivative distribution packaged by Turris) but it’s been doing a great job for years.

I get the downvotes, it's kinda snarky but I think it's a legit point. If he had more modern software, would he get more done?

It’s a shame Mr Martin is less good at finishing his books.

Yep, just another step towards “we only accept email from Yahoo and Microsoft and they only accept mail from us”.

Error 0x82d60002 seems intentionally user hostile as well.

Not to mention the tech: Klarna, Spotify, Neo4j, Ericsson

Swaziland changed it’s name to Eswatini partially to avoid the same problem.

I’m guessing they broke zfs again? Just because they can.

Just be sure to change you DNA if you were impacted by the hack.

So fix _that_ problem

If you cared about privacy you won’t have an Alexa device in your house.

Really broken and stupid would be how I would describe it. Typically is just hangs hard with the disk at 100% and if you’re really patient you might be able to get a shell and kill some things over the course of the next 10 minutes.

You decide everything is either good or bad with no shades of grey, declare yourself a free speech absolutist and tell everyone that however bad that is, censorship is worse.

Doesn’t EPYC already do this? You can put an EPYC in a desktop - I did.

> Why are you letting people log into an account from a brand-new IP with no additional verification?

The opposite is the bigger WTF, why are the letting so many different people log in from the same IP at the same time. That’s a red flag on every fraud detection system I’ve seen. Not to mention there would be may failed logins for different accounts which is also a pretty strong warning.

That’s cos it is.

Shrug, the point is still relevant. Has he trained it on his own data, or just everyone else's?

Has he put his money where his mouth is and trained it on his own source code?

A much more EU style directive would be to force all operating systems to use the Linux 5.1 kernel.

If I compress a Getty images photo to .jpg and put it on my website I’m still breaching copyright even though it’s gone through lossy compression and isn’t exactly the same. That’s essentially all a AI model is doing.

And copyright applies to every copy, not just when you download something to train the model. It also applies every time you make a copy with said model.

Doubt anyone is going to miss advanced advertising.

Makes sense. The bullshit generator can replace professional bullshitters.

All AI generated content is doing is ripping off peoples work, it’s just AI seems to come with a get out of jail free card.

Try it sometime. It works for me and I’m not a single bachelor or in my 20s.

But I’m in Toronto next week, without a car so I guess I’ll see how I go there.

Yeah in central that’s true. The currently ULEZ expansion controversy (at least the bits of it that aren’t shady Twitter / Facebook bot farms trying to engineer a Tory mayor) does indicate that a lot of folks in outer boroughs rely on their cars.
